note 60447 added to function.preg-replace-callback

I've found php will crash when I store a reference to the $match parameter but there's an easy work around... $mylist=array(); function my_callback($match) { global $mylist; // this crashes PHP... // $mylist[]=$match; // this copies the $match array so is safe $mylist[]=array_merge($match); return 1; } $subject="The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plane."; echo "<p>".preg_replace_callback("/[aeiou]/i", "my_callback", $subject); echo "<p>"; print_r($mylist); ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace-callback.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60447 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60447&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60447&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
